1220 W Columbia Ave

Large apartment that comfortably houses 4-6 people. Just 6 minutes on foot to Loyola University's Lake Shore Campus. One block from the beaches of Lake Michigan. 6 minutes to the CTA Red Line Loyola Station connecting you to the rest of the city, and only 3 minutes to the stop for the 147 express bus that goes straight downtown. This is the perfect apartment for a group of Loyola friends looking to live on their own while remaining close to their classes and the heart of campus. It's also one of the best locations from which to experience the great city of Chicago - from its vibrant Northside neighborhoods to its renowned urban beaches to the glamorous downtown. The layout is flexible, accommodating 4-6 individual bedrooms. Unused bedrooms become bonus rooms. There is a large living room, a big kitchen with a dine-in section and new stainless steel appliances including a dishwasher, and two bathrooms with porcelain tubs. The floor is hardwood throughout, with lovingly restored vintage tile in the bathrooms. There is a laundry room in the building with washers and dryers for resident use. There is also a small backyard perfect for setting up a firepit to relax on spring, summer and fall evenings. 12-month lease (negotiable). A one-time move-in fee of $500 will be charged instead of a security deposit. Owner pays for heating costs, water, sewer, and garbage fees. Tenants pay for electricity and cooking gas. No smoking is allowed inside the building; smoking is permitted on the front lawn or in the backyard.
